Mrs. Turtleboy loves to drag me to the most terrible places on earth – Disney World, Hampton Beach, the Big E, etc. But this weekend she wanted to drag me to a local place which was basically the Big E before it went on steroids – the Spencer Fair:

11995958_1628717854078158_2456685142268004412_n

Does your preferred outfit on a 95 degree day include blue jeans, a cutoff t-shirt, work boots, and your favorite hunting hat? When you get your kids dressed in the morning, do you have to choose which camouflage colored outfit they’ll be wearing to school that day? Do you like the smell of cow shit lingering in the air as you aimlessly walk around a dirty sea of vendors? If so, then you’ll love the Spencer Fair. Not Turtelboy though, it was exactly the nightmare I knew it would be.

First of all, it’s 10 bucks to get in. For that you get to walk around and look at shit. Literally shit:

11217186_1628718177411459_8472518718280175067_n

You can also look at some of the most miserable, depressed looking animals outside of the Big E, including a sad turtle clinging to a small piece of shade

11988739_1628717887411488_8336587324803978715_n

a pair of depressed kangaroos wishing they were hopping around

11891205_1628717880744822_5595661217523575885_n

 

bored mules

11215842_1628718184078125_7732533598483452592_n

tired monkeys

11205526_1628718894078054_5824108409249318442_n

 

lemurs that are forced into swings and can’t get out

11987001_1628718827411394_2129887526765751718_n

alligators in tubs

10987361_1628718837411393_3943525519243850057_n

 

RBG would definitely like the black panthers, who sit there all day wishing they could eat you

11990648_1628718840744726_4363823458646705570_n

goats who are forced to smell other goat’s asses all day

12004033_1628718844078059_2723233900367219621_n

 

pet skunks

11951974_1628718510744759_1886430247961970755_n

and of course who needs to take the butcher’s word for it when you can get a great look at a T-Bone by looking up a cow’s ass?

12003380_1628718657411411_4572371772619363385_n

 

After the excitement of staring at these animals has worn off, it’s time to move onto the vendor tent. Now at the Big E it’s pretty much impossible to leave without a mop. But it’ more low key at the Spencer Fair, so you’ll have to settle for some of Grandma’s finely knitted something or others

11990628_1628717864078157_8445982011387839882_n

or a vacuum

12004039_1628718607411416_2672689832231886797_n

 

or some spray for when you leave a megadump lingering on the throne

11986481_1628718624078081_5799295582897862248_n

Then it’s off to the agricultural Spencer Fair award’s tent. Yup, you heard right. They give out awards for the best agriculture at the Spencer Fair.

Show me better eggs than this –

12004795_1628718447411432_1842299161866925653_n

you can’t. The candle contest competition was really heating up this year too

11219002_1628718437411433_1526375260730006081_n

and people are still buzzing about the controversy surrounding the award winners for Spencer Fair’s Best Honey:

10366203_1628717984078145_1225528770838219846_n

 

There’s tons of other cool crap to look at, like the hall of tractors

11057271_1628718307411446_8296311348915888901_n11150168_1628718594078084_8467104019729630678_n

carnival games where strange sweaty men will offer you deals on unwinnable, rigged games

12002770_1628718314078112_5414190476472635616_n

 

then there’s the Willie Nelson tribute show, but you better get there early because seats go fast!!

12003303_1628718300744780_5525981912499750309_n

You will probably work up an appetite walking around looking at all the exciting things, so it’s best to carbo-load with some beef jerkey

11990449_1628717870744823_2581617231538810900_n

 

And if that’s not your thing, then just stuff your face with some fried dough. Because at a fair, there can never be enough fried dough stands:

11259830_1628717994078144_2293106234059543942_n11986580_1628718587411418_4912083064225389267_n12002329_1628718310744779_5819835923092475231_n12003138_1628718304078113_6864379462466827695_n

Opening up a fried dough stand at the Spencer Fair just doesn’t seem like the smartest business move to me. It’s like opening up another greasy pizza joint in Worcester. Because apparently the people of Worcester can’t get enough greasy pizza. The problem is the market becomes over-saturated. So what do you do with your deep frier then? Simple, fry whatever you’ve got lying around. Like Oreos.

11061762_1628718444078099_5104985603469397071_n

 

After that you’ll catch your second wind in time for the big poultry show

11986987_1628718154078128_1653011256564787191_n

And it wouldn’t be a fair if there weren’t some big ass pumpkins for you to stare at

12003925_1628718597411417_873550062370350758_n

 

Be careful though, all that walking around is likely to give you heat stroke

11217801_1628717930744817_8582839165490655203_n

And I’m pretty sure the Spencer Fair is the only place in America that has attendants for the port-o-johns.

12003300_1628717987411478_8892090592850852564_n

“Tips appreciated.” In Buffalo that would be an invitation to give a Patriots fan a feces shower.

Not to go off on a tangent here, but can I just say how much I hate the concept of a bathroom attendant. It’s the most awkward encounter in the world. You always see these guys at bars when you’re wasted. All you wanna do is go in there and relieve yourself as quickly as possible and there’s this guy there trying to put soap in your hand. And of course you feel like an idiot if you don’t tip him, and an even bigger idiot if you had no intention of washing your hands. Because you can’t help but feel bad for the poor guy who got stuck with the bathroom attendant gig. The problem is you’ll be back 20 minutes later because you’re drinking long island iced teas like there’s no tomorrow, so do you have to tip every time? And do these attendants exist in women’s bathrooms too? Am I alone in this world for hating when bars put you in these awkward situations?

Anyway, allow me to get back to the Spencer Fair. For whatever reason everyone in Spencer thinks they’re the descendent of a confederate general. You’ll never see so many people flying the flag of an imaginary country of traitors, which existed only in the minds of delusional Georgians, as you will in Spencer. Pretty much every vendor selling clothing has their own confederate flag fashion line:

11223691_1628718224078121_584701636400718778_n11998840_1628718464078097_6250781762188634646_n

Seriously, the obsession with this flag in Spencer is like nothing I’ve ever seen. It’s everywhere. I’m convinced not a single one of them understands that it symbolizes a part of America that thought it was another country, and ended up starting the deadliest war in American history only to surrender like cowards cuz Uncle Sam shoved his boot up their ass and reminded them who their Daddy was. When these people look at a map one day and find out they’re living in the north this whole time, they’re gonna hate themselves for being Yankees.

 

And of course there are the Spencer Fair burnouts. Generally the Spencer Fair crowd is impressed by anything that makes a lot of noise for the sole purpose of making lots of noise.

12002136_1628718374078106_3389901826489086587_n

Because there is nothing more Spencer than cheering on some 1998 David Prouty grad in a Van Halen t-shirt as he spins his tires aimlessly until you’re covered in toxic smoke. Then you cheer because they did a good job.

This picture right here is the most Spencer thing I’ve ever seen:

11960050_1628733390743271_1192303483306382178_n

Spencer Fair uniform like you read about. Naturally the burnouts are done in a place that is incredibly fitting for the Spencer Fair – directly next to the graveyard:

11998959_1628717974078146_3752645733630417866_n

 

Finally when we had seen all the Spencer Fair had to offer we got to head back home. Naturally we immediately got stuck behind some guy driving down route 31 on a tractor.

11046796_1628718040744806_7122909761913470308_n

When you get to the the center of town there are people walking about in their finest Spencer-ware.

11993280_1628717977411479_6314266224533229096_n

 

And of course if you’ve got a problem with anything we wrote in this blog, you know where to meet Turtleboy:

Screen Shot 2015-09-07 at 10.28.38 PM

Take a number though, because there’s a line.

The bottom line is that Mrs. Turtleboy left this place saying, “I don’t know why I always think these things are gonna be fun, because they’re really not.” Nevertheless you can bet that I’ll be dragged here again same time next year.

    Of all the things you took pictures of at the Fair you missed the biggest story of the entire place…Such a fail…The guy who was selling all the confederate flag shirts hats ect….is a Black man!!! To busy hiding the camera phone so a spencerite wont find out its you ??

    Journalism has really gone to shit in this country…How the hell did you miss that..Could have been an epic interview and entire story in itself..Ya dope!!

    Now wait a minute, Turtleboy. I won first prize in a craft category some years ago, and I put a lot of work into that thing. I only entered because all my friends told me to do so. I wasn’t looking for glory. Our kids are grown now, but we used to take them every year, and they really enjoyed it.

    I couldn’t see through all the tire smoke if the honorable Bob Moscofian was selling lobsters trying to swindle fair goers watching the burnouts. Too bad TB wasn’t around during that fiasco.

    And, yes, TB, there are bathroom attendants in ladies rooms, also. If you and the Mrs. head out to the Big E this year, have your wife find the ladies room where the attendant usually has the holy jumper Jesus cd blasting on her portable cd player. And every time someone drops a quarter in her foil pie plate by the door, she will say “Bless you child” and “Bless you Jesus”!!!!!! I can get a whole year of blessings with just one trip to the bathroom at the Big E. Stopped going to the Spencer Fair years ago cause I gagged being with all the weird townies there. Very unsettling!!!!!! And creepy!!!!!!!!

    Forgot to mention the games where kids go through money faster than a premature ejaculater in a whorehouse.
    Pennsylvania has had Porta potty attendants for decades at the large car shows I’ve attended. Every single one I ever saw was black. I don’t tip because the event extorts the food vendors so I figure I should be able to dispose of it for nothing. They’re just a step away from panhandlers.

    Hey TB, you are so very wrong about Everyone from Spencer not knowing which side of the Mason -Dixon line that they were born on. Yet so very right re: the Spencer Fair. The only thing to combat the Spencer Fair: stay in, crank the AC, and drink, (possibly heavy).

    Turtleboy you got it wrong again, it’s a fun place to bring kids and see something a little different. If you were expecting the same entertainment as Universal studios in FL your bigger idiots than I thought. I used to enjoy reading your posts but time and time again your proving Turtleboy and its Mensa writers are following an agenda with no objectivity in your posts, if your not smart enough to walk by the person selling vacuum cleaners or direct TV I have a time share you may be interested in. Fuck you and your band of negative idiots who write together, and please consider anger management, the world is really not that bad.

    I didn’t go this year, but I bet 10 bucks there was some asshole in the vendor tent trying to get people to buy windows. There’s nothing more annoying than being harrassed about whether or not I’m a homeowner just so that they can try to sell me windows. Oh, and I almost forgot about the DirectTV guy, too.
